We already know the requirements for Mortal Kombat 1 for PC, a game that represents a new starting point for the well-known NetherRealm franchise and that will arrive as an exclusive game for PC and the current generation of consoles. This means that it will not be available for PS4 and Xbox One, and that it will have a much higher graphic finish than the requirements of Mortal Kombat 11.
It’s clear that, being conceived as a current-gen exclusive title, Mortal Kombat 1’s requirements are going to be higher than Mortal Kombat 11’s . This has been confirmed, and the difference is so great that Mortal Kombat 1’s minimum requirements are even higher than Mortal Kombat 11’s recommended requirements.
Unfortunately, NetherRealm hasn’t said what level of performance we can expect if we meet those requirements, so I can’t give you any completely reliable information in this regard. However, I imagine that the minimum requirements will be enough to play well in 1080p, and that the recommended ones will allow us to play without any problem in 1440p or even in 4K adjusting graphic quality.
Mortal Kombat 1 Minimum Requirements
- Windows 10 64-bit as the operating system.
- Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100 (quad-core) processor. The equivalence is not correct, because the Ryzen 3 3100 has four cores and eight threads, and the Core i5-6600 has four cores and four threads. The correct thing would be a Ryzen 3 2300X.
- 8 GB of RAM.
- GeForce GTX 980 or Radeon RX 470 or Intel Arc A750 graphics card. There are serious flaws here, as the Intel Arc A750 is much more powerful than the other two, and the GTX 980 outperforms the Radeon RX 470 as well. A Radeon RX 470 or a GeForce GTX 970 would also be correct, although the latter would also be something more powerful.
- DirectX 12.
- 100 GB of free space.
Mortal Kombat 1 Recommended Requirements
- Windows 10 64-bit as the operating system.
- Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X (six core) processor. Another equivalence error, because the AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, the correct thing would be a Ryzen 5 3500, which has 6 cores and 6 threads like the Core i5-8400.
- 8 GB of RAM.
- GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or Radeon RX 5700 XT or Intel Arc A770 graphics card. There are no serious errors, but the equivalence on the AMD side is not quite well adjusted. The closest thing to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti would be a Radeon RX 6600 XT.
- DirectX 12.
- 100 GB of free space.
The launch of Mortal Kombat 1 will take place on September 19, and as I said it will reach both PC and PS5 and Xbox Series X-Series S. It can already be pre-purchased on Steam , where it is listed with a price of 69.99 euros , which means that this franchise has also jumped on the bandwagon of increasing prices in triple-A games.
